ooml.io is a screen recording application designed specifically for macOS that captures both screen content and camera footage simultaneously. It operates entirely offline by default, ensuring all recordings remain local to your device unless you choose to share them. The app emphasizes privacy and speed, eliminating the need for accounts, logins, or cloud uploads that are common with other video tools.

The application features flexible recording options allowing users to capture full screens, specific windows, or custom regions. It includes audio control for recording microphone input, system audio, or both, along with a camera overlay that can be styled as a circle, rounded, or square bubble. Video effects are available using macOS's built-in portrait mode, custom backgrounds, studio mode, and lighting adjustments. A movable control panel built with macOS Liquid Glass provides all necessary controls in one place without requiring menu navigation.

ooml.io works by residing in the macOS menu bar for quick access, enabling instant recording initiation with a single click. The control panel can be moved anywhere on the screen and includes functions for starting recordings, toggling the camera, switching screens, adjusting audio, and saving or sharing content. Recordings are saved locally immediately upon stopping, with no processing or upload delays.

The benefits include enhanced privacy since nothing leaves the Mac unless manually shared, making it suitable for environments with NDAs, classrooms, or travel. Use cases explicitly mentioned are teaching and training without exposing student data, freelancers and agencies sending demos without watermarks, developers recording bug reports and documentation locally, and creators capturing content privately before publishing.

The target users are macOS users who need quick, private screen recordings for various professional purposes. The app is optimized for Apple Silicon and requires macOS 15. It integrates with native sharing options like AirDrop, Messages, Email, iCloud, and Google Drive, but does not require any platform subscriptions or accounts.
